Tang Paradise Introduction

Introduction Originated in the period of the Qin (221--206BC) and Han (206 BC--220AD) Dynasties and experienced its heyday in the Sui (581--618AD) and Tang (618--907AD) Dynasties, Qujiang Lake culture has a very long history. The imperial court of the Qin Dynasty established a famous royal garden by making full use of the low wetland, the beautiful mountain and the lake in Qujiang Area. Two of the most popular parts here were Yichun Spring Garden and Le Youyuan Wonderland. Qujiang was also an important part of Shanglin Yuan Royal Garden. Qujiang Area went into its prosperous period in the Tang Dynasty. From the Qin Dynasty to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Qujiang remained as a resort for over 1,300 years. It assembled the best ancient gardens and buildings in it. It was cut out as the royal garden area and boasted the popular attractions like the Lotus Garden, Ziyun (Purple Cloud) Tower Block, Apricot Garden, the Emperor Hanwu Spring, the Green Dragon Temple, the Da Ci'en Thanks-giving Temple and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Lotus Garden, was put up at the same time with Ziyun Tower Block and Caixia(Rosy Cloud) Pavilion inside. Tang Emperor Xuanzong had a walled passage leading to the garden built, with the city wall serving as o­ne of the two walls. It was built up for him to sneak into the Lotus Garden for fun. Emperor Minghuang of the Tang Dynasty would always go at the head of hundreds of officials and concubines to Ziyun Tower Block o­n the day of Qujiang Fair and enjoyed the fair with local people. All the streets in the Tang Chang'an city were vacant because people were all out in Qujiang indulged in wining and dining and looking for fun. This exemplified the great prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. Tang Dynasty Reconstruction Project is o­ne of the largest tourist programs in the northwest of China. It covers an area of 1,000 mu (about 165 acres) and is established with an investment of 1.2 billion Yuan. Located to the north of the original Tang Dynasty Lotus Garden site, the present Tang Paradise is the first theme park fully demonstrating the charm and grandeur of the royal garden in Tang Dynasty. It includes the attractions of Ziyun Tower Block, Elegant Lady Area, Imperial Banquet Hall, Fanglin Fragrant Garden, Phoenix Theater, Apricot Garden, Lu Yu Teahouse, Tang Marketplace and the Floating-drink at Qujiang Lake. Xi'an's special location make it to be a attractive place for travel. Except the cold winter, every seasons are the best time to be here.

The word 'taste' here does not refer to the delicious smell of food, but means that the whole Tang Paradise, like a fair lady, is full of aroma. Unbelievable, isn't it? But definitely true! You may wonder why. The secret is that there are incense burners here. Every few meters o­n both sides of the paths in Tang Paradise, there is an incense burner which looks like a street lamp. It is o­nly 1.5 meters (about 5 feet) tall with incense coils burning inside. It is this fragrance that makes the whole place seem like mysterious Xanadu. Thus wherever you walk in Tang Paradise, assuredly, you can be embraced by its faint redolence.In Tang Paradise, another surprising man-made wonder is the water film which claims to be the foremost in the whole world. The screen of the movie is a film of water; thus it can create a special kind of optical effect which makes the frame tridimensional. When watching the movie, you can witness that the beautiful night and the fan-like water surface become an ingenious integration. Every time the figures in the movie appear o­n the screen, it seems that they are flying to the sky or coming down from the heaven which throws you into a wonderful and illusory feeling that you were personally o­n the scene. Splendid, indeed!
